Perk up your next dish of broccoli with garlic and Asiago. Most of us eat broccoli only because it is good for us, so let’s make it taste even better. I steam the broccoli, not only is it better nutritionally, but it has a milder flavor. Also if you do not have Asiago cheese, Parmesan can be substituted. Enjoy!
1 bunch broccoli, cut into spears
4 tsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1 C. (4-oz) shaved Asiago cheese
Place broccoli in a large skillet; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is tender. Drain well. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute garlic in oil for 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli, salt and pepper. Top with cheese.
Yields: 4 servings
